Nui as a host is impeccable. He was quick to respond on all our inquires and requests. Upon our arrival he gave us tips and insights on the places we wanted to visit. He even offered his brother's services for a ride from his place to the airport. He was amazing as a host although the place itself fell short of our expectations. Here are some of the things that could have been improved:
> The aircon in the living room was leaking hence we were not able to use it during our 3 days stay. Though this wasn't such a big deal since we were out most of the day and the bedroom aircon was working just fine.
> 1 of the pillow case wasn't properly washed. There was a yellow stain on it with a funky smell that we opted not to use it. But aside from that 1 pillowcase, the place was clean and properly maintained.
> Pool area fell short of our expectation. One of the things we were looking for was an awesome rooftop pool overlooking Bangkok that we could just lounge around. Although the pool was high enough to give us a nice view of Bangkok, the pool side was dirty and there were rusty tubes on the sides. We didn't even tempt to take a dip. On the upside, the gym beside the pool was great.
> The place was a bit of a walk from the BTS. There was a van service from the condo to BTS for 10 Baht per rider but according to the driver they only run on specific schedules within the day. It also felt unsafe to walk around the neighborhood at night. Though during day time there were hawker stores outside the condo were you can get good authentic Thai food.
The place at Eden de Bangkok was an option offered to us after our first choice, New Bangkok Choice, was booked. We still think that New Bangkok was a better option and it's just a stone throw away from the BTS.
All in all, I would still like to stay with one of Nui's places as he was very accommodating as a host ...but just not Eden de Bangkok. Perhaps next time we can book New Bangkok Choice. :)
